Just a few months back, I personally suffered from depression and I know how scary it can be. It pains me now, to know that a loved one is probably going through the same thing too. I don't know how to help him other than to pray. I really pray that God will bring him through this ordeal and give him strength, peace, joy and comfort once again.

If anyone of you out there is reading this, can I ask that you pray along with me? I would be so thankful for your kindness. Please, share your experiences with me too, if any. Thanks!

I realised that I am becoming rather lazy in updating my blog. I don't want to let it rot away though. So, I will still try to post as often as I can. :)

Last sunday, our family spent quality time together before we send this boy off to Army, to serve his national service and transform into a man! So far, he's doing well in his 2 weeks' confinement, been calling home every night to report that he's fine and alright (much to the delight of my mum). He's going to be back on the 19th, can't wait to see his botak head! ;P

I have been spending more time doodling and sketching these days, doing so makes me feel happy and inspired. Just to share a few, I came up with a version of :

Humpty Dumpty

and a hungry baby robot.

Then, we planned a surprise birthday party for my cousin, Winston, who's turning 21, at my eldest cousin's place. We spent time playing Xbox and enjoying each other's company. I think he was rather touched when we presented his gift (GUESS watch) and the cake. Sayang said Winston's eyes were watery. I'm so happy that we managed to make his day! :)

The sad thing was, my camera's battery went flat before the actual celebration, so I wasn't able to capture the moments.

my cute baby niece. :)

my grandma warming up to get ready for her bowling game. Isn't she lovely?

I think she's getting more fashionable with her clothes these days. ;P

On top of all these, I spent time at Sayang's house last evening and took shots of his Doramon collection. He's a boy in a big man's body. Haha!

I am wondering how his collections of Doramon and my collections of Winnie the Pooh can fit into our house in future. Guess we just have to find space. Giving away any of it is definitely not an option. I'm insistent like that. :P

Finally, my weekend ended with me satisfying my craving for the oh-so-yummy Chocolate Melts from McDonalds. You have to try it if you haven't! It's heavenly! :)

I was absolutely delighted when I came to know about this book! It's filled with activities that draw out the creative side of you, with regards to fashion. I am going to have fun with it after I'm done with my modules!

Funny aside: Sayang hates going into bookstores with me, because I spend a really LONG time inside. That particular day, when we stepped into Kinokuniya, he excused himself and I thought oh, he's going to the food section to browse through the yummy food in recipe books. Shortly after, he returned with my book! Turns out that he actually zoomed into the arts & design section to look for my book, so that we can get out of the bookstore as soon as possible. So hilarious and cute at the same time! I ended up staying for more than an hour browsing through other books though, poor him. :)

3) Playing around with this journal

Oh! I saw this lady with really nice crochet knee-high boots, in another bookstore (again, I know! I just love them!) I wanted to ask if I can take a photo of her, but I just didn't have the guts to do so. Bummer!

I've been a Christian since 2004 and I've been told that I will go to heaven because I believe in Christ. To be frank, deep down, I always wonder if there really is heaven and if I will really meet Jesus there. It has always been a 'we'll see when I die' kinda thing to me. I didn't think of heaven as a wonderful place, especially since my family and friends are not yet saved. I thought heaven will not be heaven if I don't get to see them there. However, everything changed when I picked up this book yesterday!

As crazy as it may sounds, this little boy went to heaven and came back to tell of his little trip there. He tells of how our prayers are listened to and answered, of how heaven looks like, and of how much Jesus loves children! It's hard not to believe in heaven after reading this book! It brings me immerse joy and peace to know that, indeed, heaven is for real, and that my saviour, Jesus Christ, will be the first person to receive me in Heaven. The book talks about one last battle that is to come but the good news is that, Jesus will eventually win the battle! Seriously, what's there to fear, now that you've already know how things will turn out in the end? The only thing I have to do now, is to trust and keep praying for the salvation of my loved ones, for I long to be able to enjoy heaven with them. :)

'Heaven Is For Real' is a truly awesome and inspiring book to read, and I strongly recommend you to read it! Check out its website: http://heavenisforreal.net/ for more information!
